The Egyptian Chronicles Books in Order

The Egyptian Chronicles return to Genesis and the story of Joseph, but not from the usual angle. Instead of centering Joseph himself, the series looks through the eyes of women whose lives are upended by his presence in Egypt, revealing how one man's faith ripples through courts, temples, and family loyalties.

In Potiphar's Wife, readers meet Zuleika, a Cretan princess used to power and privilege. After disaster strikes her island home, she is traded into an unwanted marriage with Potiphar, an aging Egyptian official who barely notices her. Stranded in a foreign court, desperate to save her people, and aching for affection, she spirals into choices that draw her toward Joseph, the Hebrew servant whose integrity exposes her own emptiness.

In Feast or Famine shifts the focus to Asenath, daughter of Egypt's high priest of Ra. Raised in seclusion atop the temple, she is trained to become queen and heal the land through devotion to the sun god. Instead, foreign rulers give her as a bride to Joseph, newly elevated to vizier. Forced into an arranged marriage with a man who serves a foreign God, she must decide where her loyalty truly lies as years of plenty give way to famine.

Together the novels explore big themes, the clash between rival deities, the cost of political alliances, and the surprising ways God works through people who begin far from faith. Lush Egyptian settings, from island palaces to temple towers and royal granaries, give texture to familiar Bible passages while keeping Joseph's story firmly at the center.

Each book stands alone, so you can start with whichever woman's journey draws you most, yet reading them in order lets you watch Joseph move from slave to ruler through eyes that rarely get a voice. Expect relational drama, questions about identity and calling, and a close look at how God meets people in both feast and famine.
